The Ohio Traffic Safety Office (OTSO) mission is to save lives and reduce injuries on Ohio’s roads through leadership and partnering efforts with others interested in traffic safety, utilizing the most innovative and efficient methods possible of managing state and federal resources.

402 Program The Federal Highway Safety Act of 1966 directed the U.S. Department of Transportation to administer various highway safety programs. This grant program provides federal funds administered through the Ohio Department of Public Safety (ODPS) / Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) to eligible entities to be used for such projects as traffic safety education, enforcement and engineering. Funds are to be used for highway safety support based on problem identification, with the intent of reducing overall fatal and injury crashes. This program operates on a reimbursement basis.

Highway Safety Office Program Housed under the Ohio Department of Public Safety (ODPS) within the Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP), the Ohio Traffic Safety Office (OTSO) administers the Section 402 State and Community grants, Section 405 National Priority Safety Program grants, related National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) awards and initiatives and contracts for traffic safety activities. The staff consists of the Traffic Safety Commander, Traffic Safety Program Administrator, Grants Administrator, Regional Programs Manager/ Law Enforcement Liaison (LEL) Coordinator, Special Projects Coordinator, Program Administrator, Management Analyst, three Planners, Grants Coordinator 2 and a Grants Coordinator. The programmatic staff oversees a geographical region of the state, rather than focusing solely on grant program area(s). The state is divided into patrol districts. Planners and LELs are assigned grants based on the highway patrol districts so that each district will have the same planner and LEL. The Planner is responsible for overseeing the programmatic activity on each grant. The Regional Programs Manager/LEL Coordinator oversees the planners and coordinates the five Law Enforcement Liaisons. The Program Administrator oversees the Ignition Interlock program, assists with the web-based grants management system, the Grant Solicitation Package, HSP and AER. The Grants Coordinator and Grants Coordinator 2 are responsible for the fiscal activity on each grant. The Grants Administrator oversees the Program Administrator, Grants Coordinator and Fiscal Specialist, manages the web-based grants management system, coordinates the Grant Solicitation Package, Highway Safety Plan (HSP) and Annual Evaluation Report (AER). The Management Analyst and Special Projects Coordinator assist with the national campaigns, planning assessments, and other projects as needed throughout the year. The Traffic Safety Program Administrator oversees all staff mentioned above and is responsible for all activities of the office. The Traffic Safety Commander oversees the OTSO.

Competitive grant proposals are accepted and reviewed annually by OTSO, with funds awarded to traffic safety projects that will have the greatest impact on reducing fatal crashes


or that significantly improve traffic safety systems. Since partnerships are critical to the long-term success of a project effort, applicants are encouraged to develop broad-based support and commitment by officials and constituent groups toward addressing traffic safety concerns.

Each grant proposal must focus on one or more of these priority program areas – restraint use, impaired driving, speed management, motorcycle safety, youthful driver, distracted driving, traffic records and / or engineering. In addition, competitive grant proposals must include an evaluation strategy designed to assess the impact of proposed project activities on the selected priority area(s). Based on the proposed strategies, each grant proposal must show how the effectiveness of the proposed activities will be measured. Each proposal is compared to the Countermeasures that Work to ensure the projects selected for funding are evidence based.

The FFY2017 competitive grant process solicited grant proposals for highway safety activities from state agencies, non-profit organizations, colleges, universities, hospitals, political subdivisions and other interested groups within Ohio counties and jurisdictions (based upon the number of fatal crashes). OTSO uses a targeted approach to ensure a statewide effort that will satisfy state highway safety goals and that a minimum of 40 percent of federal funds are allocated to local jurisdictions. Two hundred and sixty-two grant proposals have been received for FFY2017. Federal funds have been tentatively allocated to 67 of Ohio’s 88 counties representing 92.23 percent of Ohio’s population (not counting the Ohio State Highway Patrol, whose grants operate on a statewide basis).

Many components of the FFY2017 Highway Safety Plan are reflected in Ohio’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP). The SHSP strategically addresses Ohio’s most problematic traffic safety issues and relies on a collaborative approach by the state’s many safety partners to implement effective programs that impact motor vehicle crashes on Ohio’s roadways. The SHSP was developed in conjunction with various safety agencies and focuses on safety for all road users, including cars, trucks, trains, motorcycles, pedestrians and bikes. The SHSP committee includes representatives from various local, state and federal safety agencies. The committee meets quarterly to review crash trends and discuss key strategies being implemented across agencies to reduce crashes.

Fatalities and Injuries In 2015, there were 1,110 fatalities and 8,785 serious injuries in traffic crashes. The number of fatalities in Ohio has increased 2.77 percent since 2010 and the number of injuries has decreased 13.75 percent in the same timeframe.

Top Priorities Ohio has prioritized its problem areas as follows: Impaired Driving, Occupant Protection, Speed, Motorcycles, Youth, Pedestrian, Distracted Driving, Traffic Records and Bicycle. This selection was determined based upon problem identification as it relates to the core measures.


Major Strategies Impaired Driving Reducing impaired driving fatalities to 319 is a strategy to reducing Ohio’s overall death and injury rates. This will be accomplished through earned media, paid media, high visibility enforcement (including saturation patrols and checkpoints), and evaluation. Ohio is entering its seventh year of being a Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) state and plans to have 225 DREs by the end of 2017 to help remove drug-impaired drivers from the roads.

Occupant Protection Reducing unbelted fatalities to 378 is a strategy to reducing Ohio’s overall death and injury rates. Increasing seat belt usage will be accomplished through earned media, paid media, high visibility enforcement, and evaluation. Ohio will also continue to fund the Ohio Department of Health to coordinate the statewide Occupant Protection Coordinator program that addresses child passenger safety as well as older children and adults through education.

Speed Reducing speed related fatalities to 296 is a strategy to reducing Ohio’s overall death and injury rates. Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) grants concentrate speed efforts using local problem ID.

Motorcycles Reducing motorcycle fatalities to 146 and un-helmeted fatalities to 102 are strategies to reducing Ohio’s overall death and injury rates. Both of these will be accomplished through earned media, paid media, high visibility enforcement, and evaluation.

Youth Reducing the number of drivers 20 or younger that are involved in fatal crashes to 142 is a strategy to reducing Ohio’s overall death and injury rates. Reducing this number will be accomplished through working with teens statewide through a peer-to-peer program. These peer-to-peer efforts are designed to: increase seat belt use; reduce speeding; reduce impaired driving; reduce distracted driving; reduce underage drinking; and reduce other risky behaviors that contribute to injuries and fatalities.

Pedestrian Reducing the number of pedestrian fatalities to 95 is a strategy to reducing Ohio’s overall death and injury rates. Since this number is a small percentage of Ohio’s fatality number, this reduction will be accomplished by concentrating efforts at the local level where the highest number of pedestrian fatalities are occurring. Columbus Health Department (Franklin County), Safety Council of SW Ohio (Butler County) and Bethesda North Hospital (Hamilton County) requested funding for pedestrian activities in their Safe Communities proposals.

Distracted Driving Reducing the number of distracted driving fatal crashes to 25 and the number of distracted driving injury crashes to 3,026 is a strategy to reducing Ohio’s overall death and injury rates. In 2011, Ohio began adding fields to the OH-1 (Crash Report) to capture distracted driving data. The revised OH-1 was available for use in 2012, but was not mandatory until 2013.


Distracted driving data is incomplete for 2011 and 2012. Prior to the new fields, all distracted driving was captured under one field, Driver Inattention. Decreasing this number will be accomplished through earned media, paid media, high visibility enforcement, and evaluation.

Traffic Records Through the Traffic Records Coordinating Committee, several projects have been approved for funding for FFY2017. Existing projects such as Crash Mapping (accurate / timely crash reporting), Electronic Crash Submissions (accurate / timely crash reporting), and Citation Tracking (accurate / timely citation reporting) will continue until the projects are complete.

Bicycle Reducing the number of bicycle fatalities to 14 is a strategy to reducing Ohio’s overall death and injury rates. Since this number is a small percentage of Ohio’s fatality number, this reduction will be accomplished by concentrating efforts at the local level where the highest number of bicycle fatalities are occurring.

Key Partners Ohio works closely with many partners throughout the year to assist in identifying problems and infrastructure needs. These partners include but are not limited to: NHTSA, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Governor’s Highway Safety Association (GHSA), Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO), Buckeye State Sheriff’s Association (BSSA), Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP), Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC), Crash Outcome Data Evaluation System (CODES), Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP), Motorcycle Ohio, American Motorcycle Association (AMA), Emergency Medical Services (EMS), University of Akron, Miami University of Ohio, Countywide OVI Task Forces, Safe Communities and sub-recipients.

OTSO is a member of the SHSP committee and heads one of the sub-committees. OTSO is also a member of the TRCC. Many of the agencies listed above are also members of the SHSP and TRCC. Working with these agencies in different committees allows for coordination of data and programming across many disciplines in Ohio to achieve our common goals.


At any given time during the year staff may be working on previous, current and upcoming fiscal year plans. While the planning process may be interrupted by unforeseen events and mandates, there is a general “rhythm” to putting an annual plan together.

Please note that meetings with federal, state and local partners occur continuously throughout the year; these meetings assist in identifying traffic safety problems and infrastructure needs.

Problem Identification Process A variety of resources are used to determine and prioritize the State’s traffic safety problems and traffic safety-related infrastructure needs. Federal priorities, past evaluations and recommendations from resources such as the most recent National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) assessments (motorcycle, impaired driving, occupant protection, traffic records and EMS), Countermeasures That Work and results from annual observational seat belt surveys and telephone surveys are reviewed to identify program direction.

Meetings with federal, state and local partners throughout the year also assist in identifying problems and infrastructure needs. Examples of these meetings include but are not limited to the following partners: Ohio’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) planning committee and subcommittees, Traffic Records Coordinating Committee (TRCC), ODOT’s Office of Systems Planning and Program Management Section, Ohio Department of Health’s Alcohol and Drug Testing Section, Ohio Department of Health’s Injury Prevention Section, OVI Task Forces, Safe Communities, district traffic safety meetings, motorcycle safety strategic planning committee, Crash Outcome Data Evaluation System (CODES), Commercial Vehicle Strategic Plan planning committee, national and regional NHTSA meetings, the Governor’s Highway Safety Association annual meeting and the national LifeSavers conference. Strategic plans developed as a result of several of these meetings provide clear direction on prioritizing the state’s identified problems and countermeasures that will be considered for funding. Sub-recipients and other stakeholders provide current traffic and demographic trends at the district traffic safety meetings.

The Program Administrator and the Special Projects Coordinator compiled demographic, registration, driver license and crash data. The traffic crash data used for this analysis was from Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) calendar years 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 and the Ohio Department of Public Safety (ODPS) Ohio Crash Facts calendar years 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and preliminary 2015. The Grants Administrator and Program Administrator analyzed traffic crash data, documents and current trend data to not only identify and prioritize the Ohio’s traffic safety problems, but to target fatal crash locations for traffic safety programming. In addition to targeting locations, data is analyzed to determine the additional factors involved in targeting our resources on the problem. Other factors that are reviewed are vehicle type, gender, age, day of week, time of day and type of roadway. Ohio’s demographic, registration, driver license and crash data can be found on pages 11 through 38.

Once the state’s problems have been identified, the grant solicitation package is developed. The grant solicitation package identifies the types of grants that will be considered for review (e.g., Selective Traffic Enforcement Program, Impaired Driving Enforcement Program, Seat Belt Tac Squad, OVI Task Force, Safe Communities, and general). Each year, the solicitation package is available online at http://ghsogrants.dps.ohio.gov. Depending on the type of grant, potential grantees identify required goals, project activities and evaluation measures as part of the application process.


Proposal guideline presentations were developed and released electronically for potential sub-recipients to review statewide goals, OTSO’s expectations and to serve as a guide to submit the proposal using the online GRANTS System. Information for the new grant cycle was presented to the sub-recipients at each district traffic safety meeting. Sub-recipients are required to review the most recent version of Countermeasures that Work prior to submitting the proposal.

Ohio has prioritized its problem areas as follows: Impaired Driving, Occupant Protection, Speed, Motorcycles, Youth, Pedestrian, Distracted Driving, Traffic Records and Bicycle. This selection was determined based upon problem identification as it relates to the core measures.

Evidence-Based Traffic Enforcement Plan Ohio conducted an in-depth analysis of traffic crash data to identify and prioritize the state’s traffic safety problems and to target fatal crash locations for programming. This analysis was used to develop Ohio’s Evidence-Based Traffic Enforcement Plan. Once the problems and locations were determined, The Countermeasures That Work: A Highway Safety Countermeasure Guide for State Highway Safety Offices Eighth Edition, 2015 was reviewed to determine the most effective evidence based programming to address Ohio’s problems. See Appendix M for Ohio’s Evidence Based Traffic Enforcement Plan.

Age Distribution of People in Ohio


In the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, 2014 5 - Year Estimates Survey, Ohio has a population of 11,560,380. Ohio has 88 counties, 246 cities, 687 villages and 1,308 townships. There are 122,884 miles of public roads in Ohio. About 16 percent, or 19,232, miles are state maintained (IR, US and SR) and 83 percent, or 102,248 miles, are local maintained. The remaining 1,404 miles are turnpike, state park roads, etc.

Climate While Ohio’s winters range from cool to cold with moderate year-round precipitation, severe lake effect snowstorms are not uncommon in the area southeast of Lake Erie. Snow is not uncommon throughout the state between November and March (5 out of 12 months - 41.67 percent of the year). However, only 36.24 percent of fatalities and 35.63 percent of serious injuries (2010 - 2014) occurred November - March.

Media Ohio has 42 commercial TV stations, 550 commercial radio stations, 80 daily newspapers, 154 weekly newspapers and 12,539 outdoor billboards. There are nine markets in Ohio and five of these markets cover areas in five (Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Pennsylvania, West Virginia) neighboring states.

Ohio Data Analysis and Identified Problem Areas

Fatality/Serious Injury

The number of traffic fatalities has decreased 6.85 percent over the five-year period (2010 - 2014). The five-year average has decreased 9.85 percent since the 2006 - 2010 average. The five - year moving average has continued to decline each year.

Between 2010 and 2014, 43.51 percent of all fatalities occurred in cars, 11.18 percent in SUVs and 9.94 percent occurred in pick-up trucks. Cars, Pick-ups, Vans have all gradually decreased from the 2008 - 2012 data set to the 2009 - 2013 data set to the 2010 - 2014 data set. SUVs have gradually increased.

Fatalities occurred most often in the 25 - 34 age group, then the 45 - 54 age group and the 35 - 44 age group. These three age groups 25 - 34, 45 - 54 and 35 - 44 consistently contain the highest number of fatalities.

When we reduce the fatalites by age group to the percent of all fatalites then compare that percentage to the percantage that the same age group is of Ohio’s population, we can see what age group is over represented in fatalities. The largest over represented age group is 25 - 34. Next is the 15 - 19 age group. Also over represented are the over 74 age group, the 20 - 24 age group, the 35 - 44 age group and the 45 - 54 age group. When you group these age groups into under 20 (young drivers 15 - 19) and over 65 (older drivers), the young driver group is 6.90 percent of the population, and 10.59 percent of the fatalities. The older driver group is 14.80 percent of the population and 18.01 percent of the fatalities. Older driver fatalities have come up as a growing concern in several of the district meetings with sub-recipients.

Between 2010 and 2014, 3.89 percent of fatal crashes occurred between midnight and 3:00 am on Sunday mornings. This time is much higher than any other day of week/time frame. This day/time frame was 3.75 percent in the 2009 - 2013 data. In the past the midnight - 3:00 am time frame on Saturday mornings is much higher as well. In the 2010 - 2014 data, midnight - 3:00 am on Saturday morning has decreased.

Between 2010 and 2014, 57.99 percent of all fatal crashes occurred on rural roadways. This is down from 61.61 percent of the 2009 - 2013 average.

The 2010 - 2014 average fatality rate (fatalities/vehicle miles traveled) is 0.94. This is up slightly from the 2009 - 2013 average of 0.93. The fatality rate has decreased 10.48 percent over the five-year period (2010 - 2014). The 2010 - 2014 average urban fatality rate is 0.56 and has increased 3.70 percent over the same five-year period. The 2010 - 2014 average rural fatality rate is 1.71. The rural rate is down from the 2009 - 2013 average of 1.78 and has decreased 18.18 percent during the same time period.

The number of serious injuries has decreased 13.75 percent over the five-year period (2010 - 2014). The five-year moving average has decreased 7.04 percent since the 2006 - 2010 average. The five-year moving average has continued to decline each year.

Analysis Fatalities increased 1.72 percent to 1,006 in 2014 and provisional 2015 numbers show a 10.34 percent increase to 1,110. The five-year moving average continues to show a decrease each year. Ohio continues to base funding decisions on a three year trend, however current trends are monitored to ensure all possible countermeasures are being pursued to enable Ohio to continue towards the National goal of Towards Zero Deaths.

Only 29.56 percent of Ohio’s Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMTs) are rural, however 57.99 percent of all fatal crashes (2010 - 2014 average) occur on rural roadways. Ohio will use the model (earned media (education/outreach), paid media, enforcement and evaluation) to reach these segments of Ohio’s roadways.

Ohio’s five-year moving average is showing a decrease of 7.04 percent in serious injuries over the last five years. Ohio will continue to monitor data on serious injuries to ensure this trend continues.

Impaired Driving The number of fatalities in crashes involving a driver or motorcycle operator with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 g/dL or higher has decreased 7.46 percent over the five-year period (2010 - 2014). The five-year moving average has decreased 9.52 percent since the 2006 - 2010 average. The five-year moving average has continued to decline each year.

Between 2010 and 2014 Ohio averaged 347 alcohol-related (any impairment level) fatal crashes (Ohio Traffic Crash Facts) in Ohio. The five-year moving average has decreased 17.77 percent since the 2005 - 2009 average.

Unbelted fatalities that tested between 0.01 and 0.07 BAC accounted for 4.52 percent of all unbelted fatalities between 2010 and 2014. Test results showing 0.00 BAC accounted for 42.47 percent and .08 percent and above accounted for 31.57 percent. Although the overall number of unbelted fatalities that were 0.08 and above significantly decreased from 694 to 614 (11.53 percent), the portion of unbelted fatalities that are .08 and above increased slightly (1.15 percent).

Motorcycle operator fatalities that tested between 0.01 and 0.07 BAC accounted for 7.44 percent of all motorcycle fatalities between 2010 and 2014. Test results showing 0.00 BAC accounted for 47.19 percent and 0.08 and above accounted for 31.74 percent. The percent of 0.08 and above increase 6.65% from the 2009 - 2013 average.

Between the years of 2010 and 2014, the age groups of 25 - 34 and 35 - 44 were significantly higher than any other age group in driver fatalities with a BAC of .08 or higher. This was the same in the 2009 - 2013, 2008 - 2012 and the 2007 - 2011 data. While these age groups still represent the highest age groups, the numbers are decreasing and the gap between the second highest (35 - 44) and the third highest (45 - 54) has decreased from 100 (2007 - 2011) to 61 (2008 - 2012) to 49 (2009 - 2013) to 25 (2010 - 2014).

Pedestrian fatalities that tested between 0.01 and 0.07 BAC accounted for 6.08 percent of all tested pedestrian fatalities between 2010 and 2014. Test results showing 0.00 BAC accounted for 58.01 percent and 0.08 percent and above accounted for 35.91 percent. The percent of pedestrian fatalities that tested 0.08 and above has increased 11.12 percent since the 2009 - 2013 data while the number of pedestrian fatalities has remained the same.

Between 2010 and 2014, 84.80 percent of the crashes involving a driver with a BAC of 0.08 or higher were male; this is down slightly from the 2009 - 2013 data. Over 55 percent of the crashes involving a driver with a BAC of 0.08 or higher, occurred on a rural roadway. This is down from over 60 percent in the 2008 - 2012 data.

Between 2010 and 2014, 8.19 percent of the crashes involving a driver with a BAC of 0.08 or higher occurred between midnight and 3:00 am on Sunday mornings. In the past several years, this time frame on both Saturday and Sunday mornings were nearly identical in number. However as we saw in the overall fatal number, the difference between these two time frames is growing. The number of fatal crashes that occurred during these time frames has decreased from 179 (2007 - 2011) to 168 (2008 - 2012) to 155 (2009 - 2013) to 152 (2010 - 2014). The only day/time that significantly increased is: Wednesday 3:00 am - 6:00 am. This increased from two crashes in the 2009 - 2013 data to 9 in the 2010 - 2014 data, a 350 percent increase.

Analysis Over 31 percent of all unbelted fatalities tested 0.08 BAC or higher. Ohio will continue to examine this data to determine what countermeasures will be effective on this target audience.

Ohio will continue to focus efforts toward impaired riding. Almost 32 percent of motorcycle operator fatalities tested a 0.08 BAC or higher.

Drivers between 25 - 34 and 35 - 44 are the two highest age groups of driver fatalities that tested .08 or higher. These two groups were also higher than any other age group in the 2009 - 2013, 2008 - 2012 and 2007 - 2011 data sets.

Crashes with Driver .08 or higher




On 84.80 percent of fatal crashes where the driver tested a 0.08 BAC or higher, the driver was male. Male drivers only account for 48.61 percent of licensed drivers.

Over 55 percent of crashes that had the driver test a 0.08 or higher occurred on a rural roadway. Only 29.56 percent of Ohio’s VMTs are rural.

Ohio will continue to use the model (earned media (education/outreach), paid media, enforcement and evaluation) to reach the target audiences of: motorcyclists, males aged 25 -44 and rural Ohio during the peak alcohol times of weekend nights.

Occupant Protection In 2014, Ohio reached an 85.0 percent observed seat belt use rate; however, the rate dropped to 83.9 percent in 2015.

The number of unrestrained fatalities has decreased 7.18 percent over the five-year period (2010 - 2014). The five-year average has decreased 16.26 percent since the 2006 - 2010 average. The five-year moving average has continued to decrease each year.

Between 2010 and 2014 Ohio had 479,492 traffic related injuries; 86.88 percent were restrained. Under four percent (3.98 percent or 19,084), of these injuries were children ages 0 - 8. Of this sub-section, 77.24 percent were restrained.*

*Restraint used only indicates that some form of restraint was used. It does not mean that the proper restraint was used or that the restraint was used correctly.

Between 2010 and 2014, 69.40 percent of unbelted fatalities were male. This is a decrease from the 2009 - 2013 average of 71.65 percent and the 2008 - 2012 average of 73.57 percent. Between 2010 and 2014, 63.73 percent of all unbelted fatalities occurred on a rural roadway. This is a slight decrease from the 2009 - 2013 average of 64.67 percent and the 2008 - 2012 average of 64.14 percent.

Between 2010 and 2014, 9.06 percent of unbelted fatalities occurred between midnight and 3:00 am on Saturday and Sunday mornings. This is down slightly from the 9.36 percent in the 2009 - 2013 data set and the 9.44 percent in the 2008 - 2012 data set.

Unbelted Fatalities 2010 - 2014




Unbelted fatalities that tested between 0.01 and 0.07 BAC accounted for 4.52 percent of all unbelted fatalities between 2010 and 2014. Test results showing 0.00 BAC accounted for 42.47 percent and 0.08 percent and above accounted for 31.57 percent. Although the overall number of unbelted fatalities that were 0.08 and above significantly decreased from 694 to 614 (11.53 percent), the portion of unbelted fatalities that are 0.08 and above increased slightly (1.15 percent). See chart under Impaired Driving.

Analysis Ohio’s observed seat belt usage rate decreased from 85.0 percent in 2014 to 83.9 percent in 2015. Ohio will continue to use the model (earned media (education/outreach), paid media, enforcement and evaluation) to increase the observed seat belt usage rate.

Unbelted fatalities are occurring most often in the 25 - 34 age group. The 35 - 44 and 16 - 20 are not far behind. The 16 - 20 year old age group represents 13.66 percent of all unbelted fatalities but only 6.90 percent of Ohio’s population. The age groups between 15 and 44 are all over-represented when compared to the population.

Fatal data analysis for children eight years old and under revealed that 1.29 percent of Ohio’s fatalities between 2010 and 2014 were eight or under. Of these (67 fatalities), 61 percent used some form of restraint and 27 percent used no restraint. Injury data analysis for the same age group shows that 3.98 percent of Ohio’s injuries were eight or under. Of these (19,084 injuries), 77.24 percent used some form of restraint and 22.76 percent used no restraint. The data does not indicate if the proper restraint was used or if the restraint was used correctly.

Ohio’s population is 48.89 percent male; however 69.40 percent of all unbelted fatalities were male.

Only 29.56 percent of Ohio’s VMTs are rural; however, 63.73 percent of unbelted fatalities occurred on a rural roadway.

Between the years of 2010 and 2014, 36.54 percent of all fatalities were unbelted. This percent decreased 0.98 percent over the previous five - year average. Over nine percent of all unbelted fatalities occurred between midnight and 3:00 am Saturday and Sunday mornings. Ohio will also focus efforts on the areas mentioned above (pick-up truck drivers, SUV drivers, ages 15 - 44, males and rural roadways) to decrease the percent of unbelted fatalities.


Speed The number of speed related fatalities has increased 14.64 percent over the five-year period (2010 - 2014). The five-year average has increased 7.24 percent since the 2006 - 2010 average.

Speed was a factor in 31.79 percent of the fatal motorcycle crashes between 2010 and 2014.

Ten percent of all driver fatalities where the driver was speeding (between 2010 and 2014) were drivers under the age of 20.

Speed related fatalities occurred most often in the 25 - 34 age group, then the 16 - 20 age group and the 35 - 44 age group. This is consistent with the 2009 - 2013 and the 2008 - 2012 data sets.

Speed-Related Fatalities 2010 - 2014


Analysis Speed-related fatal crashes have fluctuated in the last five years. Speed is a factor in 31.79 percent of fatal motorcycle crashes. In FFY2014, Ohio purchased eight speed trailers for use around the state. One trailer was assigned to each patrol district for use by all law enforcement within the district to help battle this issue. Additional speed trailers were purchased in FFY2016. Speed-related fatal crashes decreased 14.64 percent from 2010 to 2014. Ohio will continue to address speed-related fatal crashes based on local problem identification.

Motorcycle Safety The number of motorcycle fatalities has decreased 20.00 percent over the five-year period (2010 - 2014). The five-year average has decreased 14.53 percent since the 2006 - 2010 average.

The number of un-helmeted motorcycle fatalities has decreased 27.20 percent over the five- year period (2010 - 2014). The five - year average has decreased 14.84 percent since the 2006 - 2010 average.

Un-helmeted Motorcycle Fatalities



Motorcycle fatalities occurred most often in the 45 - 54 age group, then the 55 - 64 age group, then the 35 - 44 age group. The 45 - 54 age group has consistently been the highest age group. The other groups varied a little this year over the previous two five-year data sets. The 35 - 44 age group dropped from second highest to third highest and the 55 - 64 age group rose to second highest.

Between 2010 and 2014, 95.23 percent of motorcycle operator fatalities were male. This is an increase from the 2009 through 2013 data of 94.61 percent and still a decrease from the 2008 through 2012 data of 96.14 percent. Over 57 percent of the motorcycle fatal crashes occurred on a rural roadway; consistent with the 2009 - 2013 data and down from 62.00 percent in the 2008 - 2012 data.

Between 2010 and 2014, 5.62 percent of motorcycle fatalities occurred between 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm on Saturday afternoons. This is down from the 6.29 percent in the 2009 - 2013 data and the 6.17 percent in the 2008 - 2012 data. The next highest periods are 5.36 percent between 6:00 pm and 9:00 pm Saturday evening, 4.71 percent each between 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm Sunday afternoon and 6:00 pm and 9:00 pm Sunday evening. These four time frames make up 20.40 percent of motorcycle fatalities compared to 20.88 percent for the four highest periods in the 2009 - 2013 data and 21.26 percent in the 2008 - 2012 data and 21.09 percent in the 2007 - 2011 data.

Motorcycle Fatalities 2010 - 2014




Motorcycle operator fatalities that tested between 0.01 and 0.07 BAC accounted for 7.44 percent of all motorcycle fatalities between 2010 and 2014. Test results showing 0.00 BAC accounted for 47.19 percent and .08 and above accounted for 31.74 percent. The percent of .08 and above increased 6.65% from the 2009 - 2013 average. See chart under Impaired Driving.

Speed was a factor in 31.79 percent of the fatal motorcycle crashes between 2010 and 2014.

Analysis Many of the numbers involving motorcycles continue to move in the right direction; however Ohio still has problems to address. The number of motorcycle fatalities has decreased over the last five years. However over 71 percent of the motorcycle fatalities between 2010 and 2014 are un-helmeted. This has decreased 2.89 percent from the 2008 - 2012 data set. The number of motorcycle fatalities has decreased; however, motorcycle fatalities represent over 14 percent over Ohio’s fatalities compared to just under four percent of Ohio’s registered vehicles.

Most of the operator fatalities continue to occur in the following age groups: 45 - 54, 55 - 64, 35 - 44 and 25 - 34.

Only 29.56 percent of Ohio’s VMTs are rural; however, over 57 percent of the motorcycle fatal crashes are occurring on rural roadways. This is the same as the 2009 - 2013 data set and has declined from over 61 percent in the 2008 - 2012 data set.

Based on this data, Ohio will focus its efforts to increase helmet use, reduce impaired riding and speeding among males aged 25 - 64 riding on Ohio’s rural roadways during the peak times of Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

Youthful Driver The number of young drivers (20 or younger) involved in fatal crashes has decreased 13.20 percent over the five-year period (2010 - 2014). The five-year average has decreased 25.13 percent since the 2006 - 2010 average.

Drivers 20 or Younger Involved in a Fatal Crash



Ten percent of all driver fatalities where the driver was speeding (between 2010 and 2014) were drivers under the age of 20.

The average number of fatalities with a driver age 20 or younger with a BAC of .08 or higher (2010 - 2014) was 7.8. This is down 48 percent from the 2009 - 2013 average of 15.

Analysis Ohio has reduced the number of drivers aged 20 or younger involved in fatal crashes over the last five years, with a slight increase in 2014. The five-year averages continue to decline. Speed continues to be a problem among youth fatalities (20 and under).

Ohio will continue to focus efforts towards this age group with an emphasis on speed, impaired driving and distracted driving.

Pedestrian Safety The number of pedestrian fatalities has decreased 7.53 percent over the five-year period (2010 - 2014). The five-year average has remained consistent since the 2006 - 2010 average.

Pedestrian fatalities occurred most often in the 45 - 54 age group, then the 25 - 34 age group then the 35 - 44 age group. This is similar to the 2009 - 2013 data.

Pedestrian Fatalities 2010 - 2014


When comparing the pedestrian fatalities by population and age, the 45 - 54 age group is the most over-represented. However, seven out of eleven of the age groups are over-represented.

Between 2010 and 2014, 66.25 percent of pedestrian fatalities were male. This percentage has increased from both the 2009 - 2013 data set and the 2008 - 2012 data set. Almost 69 percent of the pedestrian fatalities occurred on an urban roadway. This has increased from both the 2009 - 2013 and the 2008 - 2012 data sets.

Between 2010 and 2014, 5.21 percent of pedestrian fatalities occurred between midnight and 3:00 am on Sunday morning. The next highest periods are 5.00 percent between 9:00 pm and midnight Saturday night, 3.96 percent each between 6:00 pm and 9:00 pm Wednesday and Friday evenings.

Pedestrian Fatalities 2010 - 2014




Pedestrian fatalities that tested between 0.01 and 0.07 BAC accounted for 6.08 percent of all tested pedestrian fatalities between 2010 and 2014. Test results showing 0.00 BAC accounted for 58.01 percent, and 0.08 percent and above accounted for 35.91 percent. The percent of pedestrian fatalities that tested 0.08 and above has increased 11.12 percent since the 2009 - 2013 data while the number of pedestrian fatalities has remained the same.

Analysis The five-year moving average has remained fairly consistent between 96 and 99. Pedestrian fatalities are occurring most often in the 45 - 54, 25 - 34, 35 - 44 and 55 - 64 age groups.

Ohio’s population is 48.85 percent male; however, 66.25 percent of pedestrian fatalities are male.

Almost 69 percent of pedestrian fatalities occur on urban roadways.

Almost 42 percent of all pedestrian fatalities tested some level of alcohol: 6.07 percent 0.01 - 0.07 BAC and 35.91 percent 0.08 BAC or higher. The percent 0.01 - 0.07 decreased from the 2009 - 2013 and the 2008 - 2012 data sets; however, the percent 0.08 or higher increased from both data sets.

Pedestrian fatalities occur most often between midnight and 3:00 am on Sunday morning. The next highest day/time frame is between 9:00 pm and midnight Saturday night.

Looking at the statistics statewide, the pedestrian problem appears to be among adults, in urban areas, that have some level of alcohol involvement on the weekends. However, since pedestrian fatalities are only 9.21 percent of all fatalities, Ohio will fund local projects that have pedestrian fatality problems based on local problem identification. In FFY2017, Columbus Health Department (Franklin County), Safety Council of Southwestern Ohio (Butler County) and Bethesda North Hospital (Hamilton County) requested funding for pedestrian activities in their Safe Communities proposals. Butler, Franklin and Hamilton Counties had 73 pedestrian fatalities between 2012 and 2014. These fatalities are 25.7 percent of the statewide pedestrian fatalities in those years.

Bicycle Safety The number of bicycle fatalities has fluctuated between 11 and 19 over the five-year period (2010 - 2014). The five-year average has fluctuated between 15 and 17 since the 2006 - 2010 average.

Bicycle fatalities occurred most often in the 25 - 34 age group, closely followed by the 16 - 20 and 45 - 54 and 55 - 64 age groups. There is not a pattern in the age groups from the 2009 - 2013 and the 2008 - 2012 data sets.

Between 2010 and 2014, 81.33 percent of bicycle fatalities were male. Over 65 percent of the bicycle fatalities occurred on an urban roadway.

Bicycle Fatalities 2010 - 2014


Between 2010 and 2014, 9.33 percent of bicycle fatalities occurred between 6:00 pm and 9:00 pm Monday evenings. The next highest periods are 8.00 percent 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm Friday afternoon and 6.67 percent 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm Friday evening. The first two day/time frames are consistent with the 2009 - 2013 data set.

Bicycle fatalities that tested between 0.01 and 0.07 accounted for 7.27 percent (up slightly from 6.90 percent) of tested bicycle fatalities between 2010 and 2014. Test results showing 0.00 BAC accounted for 76.36 percent (up from 74.14 percent) and 0.08 and above accounted for 16.36 percent (down from 18.97 percent).

Analysis Ohio has remained fairly constant in bicycle fatalities with a five-year average between 15 and 17 since the 2005 - 2009 data set. Although the fatalities are occurring most often in the 25 - 34 age group, the next highest groups (16 - 20 and 45 - 54 and 55 - 64) are each only one or two fatalities behind. So the fatalities are occurring between ages 16 - 20 and 25 - 64.

Over 76 percent of the tested bicycle fatalities tested 0.00 BAC. Over 81 percent are male and over 65 percent occur on urban roadways.

In regards to the time of day/day of week, even though the data shows 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm on Monday as the time when most of the fatalities are occurring; the next two time periods mentioned (3:00 pm to 6:00 pm and 9:00 pm to midnight on Fridays) are each only one and two fatalities behind. The total number of bicycle fatalities between 2010 and 2014 for all three time frames is 18.

Looking at the statistics statewide, the bicycle problem appears to be mainly among adults, in urban areas. However, since bicycle fatalities are only 1.44 percent of all fatalities, Ohio will fund local projects if warranted based on problem identification.

Distracted Driving In 2011, Ohio began adding fields to the OH-1 (Crash Report) to capture distracted driving data. The revised OH-1 was available for use in 2012, but was not mandatory until 2013. Distracted driving data is incomplete for 2011 and 2012. Prior to the new fields, all distracted driving was captured under one field, Driver Inattention.

The 2010 - 2014 five-year average for fatal crashes attributed to distracted driving is 25.6 and the average for the same time period for injury crashes is 3,064. Ohio has set targets using the old data, but will be collecting data using the updated distracted driving fields to monitor trends and will adjust the targets according the data.

Analysis Distracted driving data is incomplete for 2011 and 2012. Based on the available data (2013 and 2014), “Other Inside the Vehicle” and “External Distraction (Outside the Vehicle)” are the highest contributors to both distracted driving fatal crashes and distracted driving injury crashes. Ohio continues to spend a small portion of the budget on distracted driving including earned media, outreach/education, paid media, and enforcement within the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) and the Statewide STEP grants.

Traffic Records In 2015, Ohio completed a Traffic Records Assessment. The report identified that overall improvements could be made in the following areas: Crash, Citation/Adjudication and EMS. Strategic Planning, Data Use and Integration and TRCC Management were also noted as needing improvement. The Traffic Records Coordinating Committee (TRCC) is developing a sub-committee to review and prioritize the areas that didn’t meet and that partially met to develop a revised TRCC Strategic Plan to make improvements where possible. The TRCC meets at least once a quarter to review progress made in the areas mentioned in the assessment; update members on current projects; and propose new projects that will address the concerns highlighted in the most recent assessment.

Analysis Ohio will be working on the following projects this year: Electronic Crash Submissions, Crash Mapping and Citation Tracking. These projects will improve the accuracy and the timeliness of crash reporting and timeliness of data processing electronic citations.

Historically, Ohio crash data, VMT and population have been used to establish goals for priority areas including occupant protection, alcohol, speed and motorcycle. OTSO analyzes the previous five years of data from FARS, Ohio Crash Facts, Ohio Statewide Observational Seat Belt Surveys and the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) to set their goals for the upcoming fiscal year. These goals also take into account the national and regional goals developed by NHTSA. The amount of reduction/increase for each goal was set based on past trends. Each individual year’s data is averaged into a five-year average. The amount of increase/decrease between each year is averaged. This average is used to calculate the amount of increase/decrease from the five-year average to the single year goal. Miami University of Ohio reviewed and approved the initial methodology used. The OTSO met with the ODOT (SHSP chair, HSIP staff and SHSP Project Manager) to review the fatal, fatality rate and serious injury goals to ensure these performance measures were identical in the HSP and HSIP and feed into the SHSP.

The assigned regional Planner performed an initial review of the proposal, including the Risk Assessment questions. The Planner answered a series of questions on each submitted proposal. A review team (Commander, Traffic Safety Administrator, Grants Administrator, Regional Programs Manager, Program Administrator, Grant Coordinator, the assigned regional Planner, and regional Law Enforcement Liaison) reviewed the grant proposals. The review team determined if each proposal: met the submission requirements; addressed an identified problem; was likely to have an impact; clearly stated proposal activities; contained an adequate evaluation plan; and contained a cost effective budget. Each proposal was compared to Countermeasures that Work to ensure the project proposed was evidence-based. County Fact Sheets that provided detailed problem identification information for the county were reviewed to ensure activities proposed were aligned with local problem identification. These fact sheets were developed by ODOT and were provided to the sub-recipient along with the most recent Countermeasures that Work during the proposal process. The team reviewed the Risk Assessment questions. Management determined the proposal’s Risk Level (High, Medium, Low) based on the score from the answers. This Risk Level will determine the Monitoring Level if awarded a grant. The Risk Assessment process is defined in OTSO policy.

The grant management staff compiles a list of all proposals received. The list is submitted to the Traffic Safety Commander with funding recommendations. The Traffic Safety Commander and ODPS Director/Governor’s Representative (GR) make the final decision on which proposals are funded.

Ohio focuses the majority of its grant funding toward counties and jurisdictions with the highest number of fatal crashes. Programming in these locations is likely to have the greatest impact on statewide goals. Throughout the year, grants are monitored to verify that funding is being utilized as stipulated in the project’s work plan.

Project Number: SA-2017-00-00-00

Project Title: Safe Communities

Description:

According to NHTSA’s website, “the U.S. Department of Transportation has made a commitment to the philosophy that communities are in the best position to affect improvements in motor vehicle and other transportation-related safety problems.” For FFY2017, the OTSO conducted an in-depth analysis of traffic crash data to identify and prioritize traffic safety problems and to target fatal crash locations for traffic safety programming. Maximum amounts for each county were set based on the average number of fatal crashes for 2013, 2014 and 2015. New programs had to have a minimum of a 3 year average of 5.66 fatal crashes to be eligible for funding. For FFY2017, Ohio will fund 48 countywide Safe Communities programs which will involve more than 1,300 communities. These counties reach 84.2 percent of Ohio’s population. Over 75 percent of the fatal crashes between 2013 and 2015 occurred in these counties.

These coordinated communities will play an active role in addressing traffic safety issues. Each program must include strategies focusing on seat belt use, impaired driving and motorcycle safety. Ohio’s Safe Communities network uses local coalitions to deliver traffic safety messages and programs throughout the year at the local level. Safe Communities provides the education/earned media portion of our enforcement campaigns while our law enforcement agencies including the Ohio State Highway Patrol conduct the enforcement portion.

Since Safe Communities are multi-jurisdictional with many different agencies and organizations within the county making up the coalitions, traffic safety will be addressed through partnerships with local businesses, law enforcement, engineering, hospitals, health care providers, schools, faith-based organizations, ethnic/non-English speaking communities, community groups and others that have a vested interest in traffic safety.

All Safe Community sub-recipients are required to attend district meetings. Items discussed at the District meetings include: Re-caps of previous blitzes/national campaigns, upcoming blitzes/national campaigns, current crash trends, enforcement activities, educational activities and other timely traffic related information specific to the district. Sub-recipients coordinate activities and plan locations based on local data and data shared at these meetings to ensure all activities are highly visible and are based on problem identification.

Project Title: Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over Earned Media Plan

Description:

Earned media is one of Ohio’s communication and outreach strategies to inform the public of the dangers of impaired driving. Ohio uses many different networks to ensure earned media is achieved statewide (e.g. law enforcement, Safe Communities, corporate partners, etc.). The earned media plan will span the entire federal fiscal year with the heaviest emphasis during the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over Crackdown. Messaging will be consistent with the NHTSA National Communications Plan and will consist of the following components:

• Campaign toolkit developed for distribution to Ohio’s law enforcement partners, Safe Communities programs, corporate partners and others that have a vested interest in traffic safety.

• The toolkit will include updated sample news releases, letter to the editors, fact sheets, newsletter articles and artwork.

• Broadcast e-mails to all safety partners directing them to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Web site as the mini-planners are released.

• Coordinated media events by the Ohio Department of Public Safety (ODPS), Ohio’s Safe Communities programs and law enforcement partners.

• Weekly traffic safety e-mail broadcast.

ODPS will continue to partner with other state agencies to issue joint press releases and assist with media exposure.

Description:

Impaired driving earned media/educational materials are one of Ohio’s communication and outreach strategies to inform the public of the dangers of impaired driving. The national Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over alcohol crackdown around the Labor Day Holiday combines highly visible enforcement with both local and national media exposure. Paid media during the crackdown will highlight that law enforcement will be strictly enforcing impaired driving laws. All law enforcement agencies across the state will be encouraged and funded agencies are required to participate in the 2017 crackdown scheduled for August 18 – September 3, 2017. This money will be spent to provide law enforcement agencies and other partners (Safe Communities, traffic safety partners, etc.) around the state with approved earned media/educational materials that will be distributed in a systematic manner to promote the message through earned media. Earned media/educational materials are evaluated in several ways: knowledge surveys; gross impressions; numbers distributed and telephone surveys.

Project Title: Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over Alcohol Crackdown Paid Media

Description:

Paid media is an important component of Ohio’s communication and outreach strategies to inform the public of the dangers of impaired driving. The national Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over alcohol crackdown around the Labor Day holiday combines highly visible law enforcement with both local and national media exposure. Advertising during the crackdown highlights that law enforcement will be strictly enforcing impaired driving laws during the crackdown period. Law enforcement agencies across the state will be encouraged to participate in the 2017 crackdown scheduled for August 18 – September 3, 2017.

The goal of the paid media plan for the 2017 alcohol crackdown is to decrease the number of impaired drivers and alcohol related fatalities. The media objective is to increase awareness of highly visible enforcement with both local and national media exposure.

The target audience is defined as anyone who drives impaired or is likely to drive impaired on Ohio’s roadways. In 2017, media will be heavily directed toward a younger male audience. Once again, the primary media target will be 18 – 34 year old males; however, other demographic audiences might be targeted based on Ohio’s current crash data and on data


from the 2016 statewide telephone surveys when they become available. Media will also be directed toward Ohio’s multicultural communities.

The following is a projected media strategy for the paid media plan during the 2017 alcohol crackdown.

The following parameters will be adhered to:

• The total budget will not exceed $400,000. • The advertising will provide broadcast coverage in the major Ohio markets to Cleveland,

Cincinnati, Columbus and Dayton, as in 2016. • Flight weeks will be 8/16/2017 – 9/3/2017. • Creative units available will include a :30 television spot and :30 radio spots. • The target audience will be men 18 – 34 years. • Social media has continued to increase to reach this specific target audience. • PSA units (unpaid media) will be no less than 30 – 40 percent of the buy and will be

scheduled within the flight as much as possible. • Media will complement the national NHTSA media buy.

Media tactics will include a combination of television, radio, social and print media that will be used to maximize the amount of resources for the sustained alcohol paid media plan. Bonus inventory will be required by each station. Regional radio will be negotiated in counties receiving less significant impact from the larger cities. Additional cost-efficiency and greater message reach are available in many of the smaller regions by employing spot radio as a part of this plan.

The final comprehensive paid media plan will be submitted to NHTSA for review prior to implementation.

The sample media buy plan which is provided as an example of what will be purchased in 2017 can be found in Appendix N. The plan will be adjusted, based upon feedback from NHTSA’s media buyer, Ohio’s current crash data and information received from the 2016 telephone survey analysis.

Project Title: Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over Mobilization

Description:

Ohio will continue to implement and expand the national impaired driving mobilization efforts in FFY2017. Following the national model, campaign components will include earned media (education and outreach), paid media, high visibility enforcement and evaluation.

Ohio’s Law Enforcement Liaisons (LELs) will continue to seek commitments from agencies to participate in the national mobilizations and increase participation in the mobilizations to more than 570 agencies and encourage agencies to report their results.

Ohio will continue to participate in two Tri-State Kick-Off Events for Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over (DSOGPO). One with Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana and one with Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia. In addition, Safe Community programs are required to conduct a DSOGPO kick-off event in their county and each OVI Task Force is required to hold a media event for DSOGPO. This will total between 50 and 60 events for DSOGPO.

Project Title: Sustained Impaired Driving Paid Media Plan

Description:

Paid media is an important component of Ohio’s communication and outreach strategies to inform the public of the dangers of impaired driving. In FFY2017, Ohio will continue to model the NHTSA National Communications Plan to bridge the media gaps around the national alcohol crackdowns with an appropriate mix of media, enforcement and social-norming initiatives to extend highway safety messages.

The goal will be to sustain impaired driving messaging throughout the year with the highest concentration of paid media conducted during the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over Crackdown and the December/January crackdown. Between these times, using secondary messages like Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk and Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving provides an opportunity to extend the core safety messages. In FFY2017, Ohio will incorporate drugged driving messaging to support the DRE program and the Drugged Driving Pilot project. Embracing social-norming messages allows us to look for marketing alliances with businesses and organizations already branded and important to our target audiences.

An emphasis is being placed on working with media partners who not only reach our target audience, but also embrace traffic safety messages and are willing to go above and beyond the traditional media buy to provide additional bonus spots, public service announcements with high profile talent, on the ground events and integrating traffic safety messaging into social media and enforcement campaigns, live reads during major events and other innovative and unique options that will help reach specific segments of our targeted audience.

Media tactics will include a combination of television, radio, social and print media that will be used to maximize the amount of resources for the sustained alcohol paid media plan.

• The networks and major cable systems will be selected in each of the major statewide markets. Presently the Ohio markets have a 70 – 75 percent cable penetration.

• Radio buys will be planned with morning drive, afternoon drive, evenings and weekends. Primary formats planned are sports, rock, alternative, urban contemporary and country, as appropriate for each demographic.

• Sports sponsorships with college and professional teams in Ohio will be used to promote responsible drinking throughout the season.

• Bonus inventory will be negotiated with each media outlet as available and will be a requirement to participate.

• Social media includes space on multiple social media sites.


• Outdoor advertising will be limited and used only when it reaches the segment of the desired target audience.

The sustained alcohol paid media plan will complement the NHTSA National Communications Plan and the NHTSA Marketing Calendar which prioritizes NHTSA special events and messaging opportunities throughout the year. The final comprehensive paid media plan will be submitted to NHTSA for review prior to implementation.

Project Title: Click It or Ticket (CIOT) Earned Media Plan

Description:

Ohio’s earned media plan will span the entire federal fiscal year with the heaviest emphasis during the national CIOT mobilization. Ohio will continue to use What’s Holding You Back? as a secondary message throughout the year. Ohio uses many different networks to ensure earned media is achieved statewide (e.g. law enforcement, Safe Communities, corporate partners, etc.). Messaging will be consistent with the National Highway Traffic Safety


Administration (NHTSA) National Communications Plan and will consist of the following components:



• Broadcast e-mails to all safety partners directing them to the NHTSA web site as the mini-planners are released.

• Coordinated media kick off events by both the Ohio Department of Public Safety (ODPS) and Ohio’s Safe Communities programs.

• Weekly traffic safety e-mail broadcast. • ODPS will continue to partner with other state agencies to issue joint press releases and

assist with media exposure.

Project Title: Seat Belt Earned Media/Educational Materials

Description:

In FFY2017, Ohio will continue to use the Click It or Ticket (CIOT) message for sustained seat belt messaging throughout the year. The goal of the sustained effort is to increase statewide usage of seat belts. The objective is to elevate awareness of the seat belt message while coupled with paid media and heightened enforcement throughout the state of Ohio during periods in addition to the CIOT mobilization.

This money will be spent to provide law enforcement agencies and other partners (Safe Communities, traffic safety partners, etc.) around the state with approved earned media/educational materials that will be distributed in a systematic manner to promote seat belt use through earned media. Earned media/educational materials are evaluated in several ways: knowledge surveys, gross impressions, numbers distributed and telephone surveys.

Project Title: Holiday Click It or Ticket Paid Media

Description:

Ohio is implementing the national seat belt mobilization model in November 2016. Campaign components will include earned media (education and outreach), paid media, high visibility enforcement and evaluation.

The target audience is defined as anyone who drives or rides in a motor vehicle within the State of Ohio. According to the ODPS 2015 Observational Survey of Safety Belt Use, younger drivers/passengers (ages 15 ½ - 25) and men are less likely to use seat belts. Throughout 2017, a heavy emphasis of paid media will be directed toward younger men with the primary media target being 18 - 34 year olds. A secondary emphasis will continue to be male urban audiences, rural and pick-up truck drivers. Gross Rating Points (GRPs) will not be calculated until the national placement has been completed.

The following is a projected media strategy for the paid media plan during the 2017 CIOT campaign.



Cincinnati, Columbus and Dayton. • Flight weeks are TBD. • Creative units available will include a :30 television spot and :30 radio spots. • The target audience will be men 18 – 34 years. • Social media has continued to increase to reach this specific target audience. • PSA units (unpaid media) will be no less than 30 – 40 percent of the buy and will be


Media tactics will include a combination of television, radio, social and print media that will be used to maximize the amount of resources for the sustained alcohol paid media plan. Bonus inventory will be required by each station. Regional radio will be negotiated in counties receiving less significant impact from the larger cities. Additional cost-efficiency and greater message reach are available in many of the smaller regions by also employing a statewide radio network in part for this effort.

The final comprehensive paid media plan will be submitted to NHTSA for review prior to implementation. The sample media buy plan, which is provided as an example of what will be purchased in 2017, can be found in Appendix N. The plan will be adjusted based upon feedback from NHTSA’s media buyer, Ohio’s current crash data and information received from the 2016 telephone survey analysis.

Project Title: Click It or Ticket Paid Media

Description:

Ohio will continue to implement and expand the national seat belt mobilization model around the Memorial Day holiday in FFY2017. Campaign components will include earned media (education and outreach), paid media, high visibility enforcement and evaluation.

A higher frequency of messaging directed at low usage populations helps increase awareness and equates to a higher overall compliance rate for belt use. New media partnerships and earned media will help expand the campaign’s message into the low usage populations. In FFY2017, TV and radio spots will continue to be concentrated and aired on stations most likely to reach Ohio’s targeted demographic. Media will also be directed toward Ohio’s multicultural communities. Additionally, social media and a limited amount of targeted outdoor and print media will be used during this effort.

The target audience is defined as anyone who drives or rides in a motor vehicle within the State of Ohio. According to the ODPS 2015 Observational Survey of Safety Belt Use, younger drivers/passengers (ages 15 ½ - 25) and men are less likely to use seat belts.

Project Title: Sustained Belt Paid Media Plan

Description:

In FFY2017, Ohio will continue to model the NHTSA National Communications Plan to bridge the media gaps around the national seat belt mobilization with an appropriate mix of media, enforcement and social-norming initiatives to extend highway safety messages.

The goal will be to sustain the message throughout the year and to hit the highest peak during the national mobilization when we are deploying what we know works best in changing behavior. Throughout the year, using secondary messages like What’s Holding You Back? and Buckle Up in your Truck provides an opportunity to extend the core safety messages. Embracing social-norming messages allows us to look for marketing alliances with businesses and organizations important to our target audiences. We have learned that many partners are not comfortable spending their resources to aggressively promote a strong enforcement message. A year-round mix of enforcement and social-norming messages helps to avoid these conflicts and provides us with more opportunities to keep our messages in front of the public and our target audiences.

An emphasis is being placed on working with media partners who not only reach our target audience, but also embrace traffic safety messages and are willing to go above and beyond the traditional media buy to provide additional bonus spots, public service announcements with high profile talents, on the ground event and integrating traffic safety messaging into social media and enforcement campaigns, live reads during major events and other innovative and unique options that will help reach specific segments of our targeted audience.

Media tactics will include a combination of radio, television, social media, outdoor advertising, theater ads and print materials to maximize the amount of resources for the sustained belt paid media plan.

• The networks and major cable systems will be selected in each of the major statewide markets. Presently the Ohio markets have a 70 – 75 percent cable penetration.

• Radio buys will be planned with morning drive, afternoon drive, evenings and weekends. Primary formats planned are sports, rock, alternative, urban contemporary and country, as appropriate for each demographic.

• Sports sponsorships with college and professional teams in Ohio will be used to promote seat belt use throughout the season.

• Social media includes space on multiple social media sites. • Bonus inventory will be negotiated with each media outlet as available and will be a

requirement to participate. • Outdoor advertising will be limited and used only when it reaches the segment of the desired

target audience.


High Risk Populations

Teens Ohio is working to target rural teen seat belt usage. Huddle High Schools, Inc. distributes high school tickets for regular season events (sports, plays, etc.) for high schools throughout Ohio. Last year, OTSO cosponsored over 217 high schools (over 3 million ticket backs) in southeast Ohio, Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Zanesville, Lima, Toledo, Youngstown and Dayton markets with a What’s Holding You Back? Buckle-Up in Your Truck seat belt message during the school year to direct target this audience.

Rural Ohio is working to target rural seat belt usage. Through Huddle, high school sport tickets are printed with the Buckle-Up in Your Truck message in rural areas. Currently, 50 rural school bus shelter locations statewide are also printed with the same message. These bus shelters are located along rural routes. The message is placed on the outside of the shelter for passing traffic to see.

18 – 34 year old Male This target audience has been identified throughout the state of Ohio as a low-usage population. Qualitative research information has generally identified the younger men (16 - 24 years) within this demographic as the most “high risk” drivers and passengers. These men are also less likely to use seat belts if they travel in pick-up trucks, consume alcohol, or ride at night and/or are African American. Ohio works closely with both the state and national media buyer to target 18 – 34 year old male seat belt usage. Ohio runs seat belt messages during home games throughout the season with the following sports teams in Ohio to target this high risk population: Cleveland Cavaliers, Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Indians, Columbus Clippers, Toledo Mudhens, and The Ohio State University. These partners generally include television, radio, interior and exterior signage. The broadcast coverage for the Major League Baseball teams includes a broad network of stations in the region beyond just the metro market that in primarily serves.

The sustained belt paid media plan will complement the NHTSA National Communications Plan and the NHTSA Marketing Calendar which prioritizes NHTSA special events and messaging opportunities throughout the year. The final comprehensive media plan will be submitted to NHTSA for review prior to implementation.

Description:

High Visibility Enforcement is designed to convince the public that there are consequences to traffic violations. Grants are awarded to law enforcement agencies whose jurisdictions experienced an average of 2.0 or more fatal crashes over the three-year period of 2013, 2014 and 2015. Each agency must conduct enforcement activity (i.e., speed, seat belt, aggressive, etc.) to impact their fatal crashes. Highly visible enforcement activities are conducted at strategic times throughout the year consistent with the NHTSA Communications Calendar. In addition to the required Blitzes and National Campaign listed below, overtime enforcement based on local fatal/serious injury crash problem identification is eligible for funding. All Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) sub-recipients are required to also submit for the Impaired Driving Enforcement (IDEP) grant to conduct impaired driving related overtime activities. Included in the STEP grant are funds to be used for education. The amount available for education is based on the jurisdiction’s population ($1,500 for small; $2,500 for medium; $3,500 for large). These funds can be used for training officers or for educating the public on all areas of traffic safety including the importance of seat belts. All STEP sub-recipients are required to attend District meetings. Items discussed at the District meetings include: Re-caps of previous blitzes/national campaigns, upcoming blitzes/national campaigns, current crash trends, enforcement activities, educational activities and other timely traffic related information specific to the district. Sub-recipients coordinate activities and plan locations based on local data and data shared at these meetings to ensure all activities are highly visible and are based on problem identification.

Project Title: Motorcycle Safety Earned Media Plan

Description:

Ohio’s earned media plan will span the entire motorcycle riding season. Ohio uses many different networks to ensure earned media is achieved statewide (e.g. law enforcement, Safe Communities, corporate partners, etc.). Ohio’s messaging contains messages to both the motorcyclist about riding “SMART” (Sober, Motorcycle endorsed, Alert, with the Right gear, and properly Trained) and to the motoring public about sharing the road with motorcyclists. The earned media plan consists of the following components:



• Broadcast e-mails to all safety partners directing them to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) web site as the mini-planners are released.

Project Title: Motorcycle Ohio Program

Description:

NHTSA’s Motorcycle Safety Program Plan states that motorcycle rider training provides opportunities for novice riders to learn basic skills and returning riders can refresh and refine their skills. This plan recommends that States conduct frequent training. This training is also a component in the Section 405f funding. The state-mandated Motorcycle Ohio (MO) program provides motorcycle safety courses to the public. In addition to training Ohio motorcyclists, MO develops and distributes public information and education materials, makes presentations regarding motorcycle safety issues and works to improve the driver licensing system for motorcyclists. MO is funded from $6.00 of each motorcycle registration. Course tuition of $50.00 also helps support program costs.

A 16-hour basic riding course is mandatory for 16 and 17 year olds to obtain a motorcycle endorsement. The basic course is offered at 22 fixed (36 ranges), 11 mobile training ranges and 14 private providers (14 ranges) across the state. Successful completion of the basic course waives the state on-cycle skill test.


Separate courses are available for experienced riders and motorcyclists interested in becoming a motorcycle instructor; tuition is charged for all three of these courses. The Basic Rider Course-2 course is offered at 11 of these sites and the Advanced Riding Course is offered at 4. The instructor preparation course is offered on an as needed basis at select training sites across the state. It is anticipated that more than 13,200 Ohioans will participate in courses in 2016.

Project Title: Crash Mapping

Description:

This project is to develop an application for in-vehicle crash location collection as well as a web-based map solution. This application will target in-vehicle (police cruiser) deployment to better facilitate more accurate and timely crash location data entry and capture. It will also include the ability to provide analytical and mapping capabilities both in-vehicle and downstream via a complimentary web application. Crash information will be processed and distributed to ODPS and ODOT for reporting, statistical analysis and mitigation strategy development. There will be less data clean-up efforts required and a higher level of confidence in the data that is coming directly from the reporting law enforcement officer filling out the crash reports. This will better facilitate more efficient means to provide real-time crash location mapping and analysis and eliminate the post processing that has historically occurred to prepare the data for use. The improved crash data will be used to develop safety mitigation strategies and implement roadside improvements in a more efficient manner.

Description:

The Ohio State Highway Patrol chairs the TRCC committee. In an effort to streamline the project management process, the OSHP has been awarded a grant to oversee the TRCC grant projects. All project suggestions will continue to be submitted to the TRCC Committee. The committee will decide as a whole on whether or not to submit the project(s) to NHTSA for funding approval. Projects that will be completed by internal ODPS agencies will be overseen by the patrol through this grant. Projects that will be completed by external agencies through a grant process will continue to be awarded as sub-grants to the individual agencies. This should help liquidate the 405c funds in a more efficient manner. The projects being funded under the OSHP grant include:

Electronic Crash Submissions Agencies with existing electronic records management systems still have to submit hard copy crash reports to ODPS. In order for those agencies to submit electronically, their existing software needs to be modified to be compatible with ODPS software. After the modifications, these agencies will be able to submit crash reports electronically. In 2015, 46 percent of all


crash reports were received electronically. Currently 60 percent of all crash reports are received electronically. This shows an increase of 14 percent. Electronic crash reporting increases accuracy and timeliness. - $275,000.00

Citation Tracking This project will be based on documents from federal and state sources and interviews with key personnel from representative agencies and stakeholders within the State. Ohio’s goal for FFY2017 will be to continue the pilot project with electronic submission to courts. Currently Ohio has eight courts receiving E-Citations electronically from the Ohio State Highway Patrol. Funds will be spent on software development and mobile printers/mounts. - $5,125,000.00

Description:

The Web-based grants management system called GRANTS (Grant Records and Application Network for Traffic Safety) was launched in 2005 to receive grant proposals for FFY2006. The online system makes the entire grant management process more efficient and accessible. This system eliminated paper submission while enhancing grant tracking because all agencies are required to submit their proposal, reports, reimbursement claims and grant revisions through the online system. A grant file can be accessed by multiple viewers from different agencies at the same time provided they have the security level to view the grant. Ohio will be pursing an upgrade to the system in FFY2017. The funding allocated to this project is for maintenance service, training and system enhancements.

Project Title: Regional Strategy

Description:

The programmatic staff oversees a geographical region of the state, rather than focusing solely on grant program area(s). The state is divided into patrol districts and a planner is assigned to manage most agreements within each District. The regional approach will continue in FFY2017.

The regional strategy:

• Reinforces the national goals by focusing planning staff on lowering the fatal crashes within their region;

• Encourages staff to build relationships with a broader array of traffic safety advocates who have interest in a geographic area of the state and allows staff to identify potential partners who are not involved in the planning and implementation of traffic safety initiatives;

• Reduces the number of planning staff assigned to a grantee agency, allowing for more consistency;

• Broadens planning staff’s knowledge of other grant program areas; and • Encourages communications among planning staff which results in more consistency in the

management of grants, both within their region and across the state.


Quarterly meetings, chaired by the OSHP District Captain, are a requirement for each FFY2017 sub-recipient. Other agencies are encouraged to attend as well. These quarterly meetings are designed to have all sub-recipients coordinating activities and resources within each district. Using this approach, OTSO anticipates more involvement from our partners, better use of resources, and increased liquidation.

Project Title: Ohio Strategic Highway Safety Plan Coordinating Committee

Description:

Ohio’s Ohio Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) identifies the State’s most critical traffic safety issues and problems, countermeasures being implemented and partners contributing resources to impact those problems and issues. OTSO participates in the SHSP coordinating committee and chairs the High-Risk Behaviors/Drivers subcommittee. MAP 21 requires the HSP and the SHSP coordinate. Ohio has had an active role in the SHSP committee since the inception and this will continue.

Project Title: Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutor Program

Description:

A Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutor (TSRP) role is designed to increase the ability of prosecutors and law enforcement to effectively present and prosecute traffic safety violations, particularly focusing on impaired driving. The TSRP works closely with the Law Enforcement Liaisons (LELs) and is a valuable resource to the office and to all of our partners. The TSRP is a vital resource for local communities in traffic safety laws. The TSRP will be conducting classes for law enforcement and prosecutors in FFY2015 on various traffic safety related issues.

Project Title: Law Enforcement Liaison Program

Description:

The goal of the Law Enforcement Liaison (LEL) Program is to enhance all aspects of OTSO’s relationship with Ohio’s law enforcement agencies. The LEL Program consists of a state LEL Coordinator and five field LELs who are placed geographically throughout Ohio. The LELs’ primary roles are to:

• Seek commitments from agencies to participate in the national mobilizations; • Increase participation in the mobilizations to more than 570 agencies in 2017; • Increase percentage of agencies reporting in the mobilizations to 85 percent in 2017.

Currently approximately 64 percent of participating agencies are reporting; • Visit law enforcement agencies to encourage the agencies to issue citations for seat belt

and child passenger restraint violations and take a zero tolerance approach on impaired driving and improperly licensed motorcyclists;

• Educate agencies on the need for their officers to wear seat belts at all times; LELs promote the Below 100 Training to law enforcement agencies across the state;

• Educate law enforcement on laws and regulations pertaining to motorcycles; • Disseminate information and materials on NHTSA programs and projects; • Disseminate information and address any traffic safety related issues that arise around the

state; • Encourage accurate and timely submission of crash reports; LELs promote the new online

crash reporting system to agencies that do not currently report electronically; • Assist with training for law enforcement agencies and other traffic safety funded agencies;

encouraging and arranging GIS Crash Analysis Tool System (GCATS) training to help in Problem Site Identification;

• Maintain federally funded equipment database to include physically inspecting equipment; • Help promote the E-Citation Program; • DRE Recruitment and ARIDE training.

Project Title: University Evaluation

Description:

Miami University of Ohio (MU) will assist by evaluating the effectiveness of several campaigns and programs such as the seat belt mobilization, the alcohol crackdowns, motorcycle safety initiatives and pilot projects. In FFY2017, MU’s activities will include:

• Conduct four statewide telephone surveys (approximate cost is $25,000 per survey) to evaluate and measure the effects of earned, paid and sustained paid media for the seat belt mobilization, impaired driving, distracted driving and motorcycle safety initiatives;

• Additional evaluation projects as identified throughout FFY2017.

Project Title: State Match for 402 PA

Description:

The State of Ohio will use state funds spent to support the Ohio Traffic Safety Office to meet the 50 percent match requirement on the 402 PA funds. The Office of Criminal Justice Service’s Grants Fiscal Monitoring and Compliance Section will monitor traffic safety grants. Each grant will be fiscally monitored each grant year. State funds can also include, but are not limited to: personal costs, fringe benefits, office supplies, etc.
